So far, I have received 7 replies, and I don't expect many more to |
13 |
come in (but please still reply, especially if you *have* signed the |
14 |
form). Here comes a summary: |
15 |
|
16 |
One former developer said that he had signed the copyright assignment |
17 |
form for GTI; he joined in June 2004. (We also have the actual form.) |
18 |
|
19 |
Six others said that they haven't signed anything; all of them joined |
20 |
after September 2006. I conclude from the replies that recruiters |
21 |
have no longer asked for signing of the form then. |
